Here is a pic of some jewelry dangles I have been working on for the little clear acrylic albums I am making. I just love looking at them, they are soooooooooo pretty irl, wish you could see them!!! I have made about a gazillion, cause I love them. :) I am going to be doing some make-n-takes at a Girl's Scrapbooking Weekend in Edwardsburg Michigan on April 19th & 20th, as well as attending it with my dd - can't wait!!! (Email me if you are interested in info on it cause it will be a BLAST!) So I have been busy working on projects for that, as well as working on things for my etsy store. I have also ordered some new stamps from a company I have never ordered from before, and am thinking about ordering some new stamps from another company because the stamping bug has bitten me BADLY lately!!! I already have a gazzillion stamps, but I really love creating with them. Oh my, I have been playing with lots of stamps, ink, acrylic, and paper the last 2 days and I have been having a BALL!!! I'll show ya some of my creations soon.Speaking of which, I need to get my rear in gear and get back in my creating space. Have a fab fab Sunday everybody!!!

Oh my! I can hardly find space on my scrapping table to put even a tiny object down!!! I have sooooooooooo many projects I am working on right now I can't believe it. I also have 2 different quilts I am working on, and a baby diaper bag for a friend too. WOOOOOOOO, creativity has definitely been hanging around my lil scrappin/sewing room!!! This little Coke themed Rolodex is a gift I made for my mom for part of her bday present. She has Coke things everywhere, so I thought this would be a good theme for her birthday/anniversary rolodex. It was a fun project, if you are thinking about making one, you should! :)

I also have a 2 page layout in ScrapStreet's April ezine this month, check it out if you have time- ScrapStreet my 2 pg layout is under April Showers and is of my mom, my daughter and myself last summer when we went to a fun outdoor Trace Atkins concert. Really wet but really fun! Probably the dorkiest pic of me ever, but hey, ya gotta sacrifice for your art, right??? ;) he he

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas *Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses - 1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

About Me

Hi there! I love creating things, be it scrapping projects, fabric projects, quilting projects, altered art, jewelrry making, stamping, cards, and crafts of many other venues. I love color and texture. I am an avid quilter, love to design my own patterns, and have sewn home décor as well as children and adult’s clothing and costumes. I have dabbled in many different mediums and crafts over the years. I have sold my work in a variety of retail establishments, as well as directly to the public. I have taught many different classes, and have been fortunate enough to be on several design teams.
I owned a porcelain doll business, as well as a laser steel artwork business. If I can figure out how to make it, I usually do. To me, creating and crafting is the best therapy in the world. I love gardening as well, I am married, volunteer regularly, have 2 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. My husband and I also like to travel.
